A termination letter dated April 23, 2025, and signed by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr. Irorodamie Komonibo, confirmed the development.
The move has drawn criticism from the Bayelsa State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which condemned the governor’s decision to dismiss aides for associating with The NEW Associates. The party described the action as undemocratic and counterproductive to political inclusivity.
